edit

The C-Line was in inter-municipal transit service where Edmonton Transit System was contracted to provide the service from the City of Leduc to Edmonton's Century Park Transit Centre and the Nisku Industrial Park. The C-Line commenced service in November 2010.

Leduc Transit commenced September 8, 2014 and is a joint venture between the City of Leduc and Leduc County. There were originally six routes. Route 1 serves Central Leduc, Nisku, Royal Oaks and Century Park LRT Station.[7] Route 2 serves West Leduc and Nisku.[8] Route 3 serves the Leduc Business Park, the hospitality area along Sparrow Crescent in Leduc and on 11 Avenue in Nisku and the Edmonton International Airport.[9] Route 4 serves South Leduc.[10] Route 5 serves Nisku. Each route operates on peak hours only, Monday to Friday.[11] Route 10 provides service from Leduc (Alexandra Park) to the hotel corridor along Sparrow Drive/Sparrow Crescent to the Edmonton International Airport, Premium Outlet Collection Mall and Costco, operating on an hourly frequency seven days per week. In 2021, all routes except for 1 and 10 were replaced by an on-demand service.
